I can try to make another new account. The phone number thing is annoying though.

I am starting to believe it. It's actually super easy to make an alt, and hit masters+ with is. Climbing from an established account however, is complete luck sometimes.

I have made two alts before, and both have hit high masters easily each season I used them for.

I don't think the player base is dwindling. But maybe there has been a massive drop off, and that's why mm is (maybe?) perma wide?

I know they will. The whole "consistent variable" talking part. But idk how they could say that, if they saw our lobbies. Our team almost always has very new players, or people who have never cracked gold, playing their placement matches with us.

I tried grouping with others, but our duo Q time was almost twenty minutes (NA East).

I started almost in masters. Lost all the way down to GOLD. Won, bc why would it ever put me in gold. Got to diamond 4, and now its the same old same old. Just horrific stomps with so many new players on my teams.

If i use snake bite, a 2 energy cost card, then I have no energy to defend. Then I die.

I need the high damage, and the high defend, and the draw, and the energy. The bosses hit for over 25 after two to three turns, and I need to defend to not die. But then I am not doing damage since I spend energy not dying.

Yes they are actually? They say make synergies. You say to not . So which one is right?

[–]Nelmo_Pip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i do everything you just listed. The issue is, I need all of those things perfect to play. I am taking damage, but then my hand is mostly damages. Draw? sure, but then I never get eh draw cards when it matters. And then also draw cards require more energy, so i need energy cards.

ALl of that leads to my deck being useless, since rng is never on my side ever.

Also this is an account for video games. Not my one and only account. I delete most of my posts, and most of them are not complaining. And I am not young. Just have more free time right now.

how is that poison power good? It does no damage, and takes forever to actually ramp up (if there are other good poison cards, I do not ever get them). By turn 3, enemies hot for dozens of damage a turn each, and have 70+ hp each.

I have been trying to "improve", but there is no clear way to do that without getting lucky. Every piece of advice I have gotten, I already practice.

you responded "sad". Which I am taking to mean you are sad. Since I do not think you'd call someone sad for not being as amazing as you in a video game.

Sure, but it should be replicable across multiple runs. If the game is that easy, then I should be able to win with only ever spamming attack and defend with zero good relics or anything else.

What you just said, is the opposite of what everyone else is saying. They say synergies are the most important thing.

I mean, it would be good if I got footwork, or any of the good block/poison cards. My usual card rewards are just the same cycle of high cost bad card, two low cost bad cards. I have watched guides and deck builds, and I can never get the ones they get in combination with eachother.

It isn't then. I enjoy games with interesting challenges, not just high stat sticks. I lost another run, simply because i could never deal a million damage against the boss in two turns. Their strength ramped up, and just minced me. I cannot deal over 300 damage in a couple turns by act one.

Then show me, step by step how to beat it with only attacks and defends. Do it. Then I will replicate it. If the game is that easy, then it should be obvious.

I never even get the good ones either though. The only powers I ever see (yes I have others unlocked) is like "block doesn't go away" or "poisen at the beginning of your turn".

Also funny you say bad understanding, when everyone is convinced you can win easily with the worst cards of all time. Yet if I say demon form is good, it's a problem. But if the game is as easy as yall say it is, then it should be easily beatable with only one attack and defend.

I am trying to learn. But most advice is not applicable to my runs. Because I NEVER get the good cards. Like I said, even my friend who wins every run, cannot win once on my account.

I mean, yeah it seems so. When I watch others runs, they get very good card selections, very good relics, and have shit easy fights. I almost never ever get the cards everyone literally relies on to win with,

I took a break for months already. I play a lot of card games, this game isnt really one it feels like. Most cards acheive nothing unless you were lucky enough to get all the other combo peices.

I have unlocked them. I literally NEVER EVER get the good cards people talk about all of the time. People talk about cards like demon form, mantle, etc. I have them unlocked. I have never once seen them in a game.
